Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 With some of their choices, I'm surprised they didn't rate "One Flew Over The Coo-Coo's Nest" in the top 10. ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Howdy, Many moons ago SASS had a monthy paper and one of the first ones I ever got had a top 25 western movies. I took it to the local video tape rental store and he did get a lot of the classics in during the next year. When DVD started and the players were a thousand dollars I asked him if he was going to get disks and he did get a few, then the tapes were sold and disks took over. Later the store was sold and torn down and its a POPEYES now. Best CR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I read thru that list and I think it was based on how much money each movie made and adjusted box office numbers. Those of us that saw them when they first came out have a different view of what a movie should be compared to those doing the ratings on that list. Just look at the remakes of those movies and how hard it is to sit thru them when you saw the original. I liked the original 3:10 to Yuma (good story, good shootouts) and the remake was a poor copy of the original (messed up story, poor ending and max violence). Since when is "Back to the Future 3" a western? It was SyFy set in the old west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Stud Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That Tyrel fella is a jewel on this forum... and just think... he is a member of the Wartrace Regulators. My club... hope to meet him next warm shoot-day.... That list is SO screwed-up... it's rediculous. OK... some of 'em... in the top ten are good. But there are some on that list that ain't even westerns. Ya know... when I first read Tyrel's list... I thought... they accidentally left out... The Sound of Music. Julie Andrews as a rooten-tooten Cowgirl... shoulda been included in that teenager's list of westerns. ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 There will never be a movie list or any other kind of list that makes everyone happy. Westerns is probably the hardest because folks here can find just about anything to complain about. I can't say I fully agree with the list, but these days anything at all that even mentions westerns is a bonus in my book. And unlike most lists, these folks provided their methodology as well so you can see how and why they chose what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cent Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 The dollars were all over the place. No way you could have used them to rank the movies. For instance: #75 - Blackthorn Smart Rating: 80.65Release Year: 2011Inflation-Adjusted U.S. Box Office Earnings: $210,357 #79 - Quigley Down Under Smart Rating: 80.18Release Year: 1990Inflation-Adjusted U.S. Box Office Earnings: $36,426,200 Quigley next to last!!??? Balderdash!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
